Believing in your memory bank

To what extent can we rely on the memory as WOK?

Consider yourself to be in an automobile. You and a close buddy are going on a trip. While talking to your friend, you accidentally struck a man with your dog. Consider the automobile you drove and the companion you had. Consider the many items in the scene. Don't you believe it's comparable to or the same as anything you've seen or have? That's because you removed the items from memory. Memory and imagination are two of the eight primary modes of knowing. From the world of Romeo to the world of Harry Potter, from a visualization technique to story-telling, everything incorporates imagination as a method of gaining knowledge and memory as a source of knowledge. Memories, in a sense, are born by experience. Imagination enjoys building on previous experiences. The hippocampus, a tiny region deep within the brain, is critical to memory creation and retrieval. Felipe De Brigard found in an experiment that memory is not a flawless window into the past, but rather very excellent at helping you to recollect what may have been. But, virtually always, we rely on our memories until supported by a shred of debatable data. This demonstrates how untrustworthy our recollections may be when compared to other sources of WOK. We lose track of recalling our memories as we become older. It's difficult to recall anything when you're stumbling. It also appears that the older we become, the more difficult it is to tell the difference between memory and imagination. We certainly have memories, but they appear to be more like outlines filled with bits, flashes, and conceptual GIFs. And when we try to fill in the blanks, to make them more vivid, more full, all we can do is imagine the rest. However, the creative capacity steadily declines in association with remembering and recalling ability. To summarize, we cannot always, or even sometimes, rely on memory as a source of information. Furthermore, recollection cannot be properly suited as proof for a certain occurrence. As a result, it is always preferable to have some other means of knowing, such as reason, sense perception, and emotions.
